Hi, in my opinion despite completion the other feature that is really
killer in helm-M-x is that it suggests the key bindings associated with
the listed commands.

This is extremely helpful for learning new Emacs key bindings with
almost no effort.

Is there a way to have that with fido-mode or icomplete-mode?

Thanks

Andrea
